Attempted Suicide.

Last night n female in great alarm
came to Officer Cornwell and notified
him that Matte Momane had taken
morphine or laudanum and was dy-
ing. The officer being engaged at the
time instructed the girl TO go and get
a physician. Matte did not die, but
was in a PROSTATE condition this
morning. She is the girl who prom
ised reformation some time ago, and
who was married to a Mexican, in
which reporters exhausted them
selves, scntimentally. Matte didn't
stay reformed. She dropped back
into her old ways, and latterly she has
been figuring conspiouously in the po-
lice court, and last night she tried to
cross the river, tired of the life of
misery and shame she is leading.

of Abraham Ballcntine met a colored
woman named Betsy Smith on the
railroad track, about three miles from
the city, and fearful fight ensued.
Both :parties show considerable evil
dence of the struggle. The woman
was so badly used up that she is not
able to leaye her bed, but the scoun-
drel failed to accomplish his purpose.
The man was arrested this morning
and is now in Jail.

Century Club.

The Century Club held its regular
meeting last night at tie Y. NJ. c. A.
rooms. The audience was attentive
and the exercises were vely good and
interesting. They are contemplating
a change, that of issuing invitations
to prevent certain class coming who
attend more as an annoyance and Gu
riosity than anything else. Their
custom is to invite remarks upon the
que ton under debate after the discus
sion has closed. And the result is
that some crank will get the floor and
hold it until everybody wants TO go to
sleep, or go home. The following is
the programme of exercises:
